Cydia is the alternative app store for jailbroken iOS devices. It offers apps that allow you to change almost anything on your iPhone. At one point Cydia was very popular because it was the only way to change certain iOS settings. Developers at Apple took notice and incorporated some of the popular changes into new versions of iOS. Jailbreaking is discouraged by Apple, however, and it voids your warranty, so if something goes wrong, Apple won't fix it.
People have been modifying jailbroken iPhones for a long time, and there is a lot of information about it online.
If you "brick" your phone somehow, meaning something goes so wrong that it won't even turn on, there are also guides online to help you fix it. Whatever you do, remember to save a backup of your device. It will help if you ever decide to go back to the official Apple iOS.
Jailbreaking isn't just for iPhones. You can jailbreak a Nintendo Switch so that it can run any app from Google's app store, for example. The process is different from jailbreaking an iPhone, and so are the dangers. Regardless of the risk, some people just can't resist unlocking their device's potential.

null and void
Welcome to Info Cloud. Today I have an interesting legal term to share with you.
Oh, English use in legal situations can get complicated.
You're right. And there's actually a reason for that, which I will tell you later. But today's term is null and void.
Null and void? Like if something is canceled?
Yes. We might see this term on a contract. If both parties don't follow the contract, it will be null and void.
Both of these words mean the same thing, don't they? So why repeat them?
Some say the repetition is on purpose. In law cases, even the smallest detail can change the outcome of a case.
That's true. It's a lawyer's job to find any loopholes in a contract.
And to make that more difficult, many legal documents will have similar repetition.
Are there any other examples?
Sure. The full name of the document that explains what happens to a person's property after they die is called a "last will and testament." Will and testament both mean the same thing - someone's wishes.
So the document may be called a will. But if you see the actual legal paper, it will say "last will and testament."
Yes. And if a document such as a will is not signed and witnessed, then it's null and void.
今天要跟大家介紹幾個跟法律文件有關的用語，第一個是 null and void，當一個合約因著某些原因已經失效，通常會用 null and void 做出正式的聲明。null 和 void 是無效的意思。null and void 就是重複兩次的聲明無效，這樣就沒有人可以鑽合約上的loophole 漏洞。
另外還有一個很特別的用語用來代表一個人財產分配的遺屬，那就是 last will and testament。一般來說，will 就已經代表遺囑，last will and testament 聽起來非常的正式和嚴肅。last will是最後的遺囑，testament就是遺言。通常在正式的法律文件上會出現 last will and testament，因為 will 聽起來有點太簡單、不夠權威。
